Hunter Sallee ENGL 1010-21 10 September 2013 Writers Notebook 4 Writers Notebook Four Is there one positive essay about our working industry anywhere? Now everything I have ever been told is being completely blown out of the water. I was always under the impression that the better your education the better paying your job will be. Now I’m being told that it’s the people who have higher educations that should be worried because its those jobs that are now being computerized. So when Obama said that the way to work on the job crisis is to invest in education that was wrong.
Both cases show people losing thousands to millions of dollars due to the fact that the product did not have a copyright. The growing problem in software piracy around the globe, every country is faced with the decision to stop copyright violations. The U.S Copyright Act is very detailed in the specifications of what rights are given to the artists. That’s not to say that U.S does not have its software copyright problems. Other countries are dealing with worst software copyright problems.
However, college students need to understand that using social networking sites religiously is not just an issue about the amount of time devoted towards schoolwork, but that it can literally change how they think. Social networking sites, along with Google and Wikipedia, are influencing how college students process information. Facebook is a great tool to keep in touch with friends, but the Internet needs to be used for educational purposes. Although the Internet can be used for educational purposes, the usage of sites like Facebook, Wikipedia, and Google have negatively changed the way college students think. Some credit can be laid upon the student, but ultimately we as a society need to fundamentally change how people use the Internet.
A blog is a special space on the World Wide Web to share a topic, opinions, knowledge, etc where readers can make comments about the topic posted. Balter’s idea of blogging could have gone good or bad, depending on the use of the agents, but he took the risk to deliver truth and transparency. When Beelog was launched it had a great engagement with the agents, employees and etc, but as it went over its course, the bond was lost because the readers don’t feel transparency since the blogs seems to be too clever. As mentioned on the reading there are about 175,000 new blogs created daily, so to maintain the readers’ attention and engagement is extremely difficult. A dynamic Beelog could be a solution, where the blog’s author can add
Source Evaluation Finding reliable sources for a research paper at the college level is not easy. College papers are much more demanding for reliable information, versus high school where Wikipedia is sometimes “okay” to use. What must of I think in high school did not realize is, on the web anyone can create a website and post whatever he/she wants. It is important to read and evaluate each source, to make sure reliable information is present, get a better understanding of to use the source, as well as, how multiple sources can be useful together. A research paper requires adequate information pertaining to a subject (in this case Drug Cartels).
What could be better than using all really high tech equipment to find the answers he cant do on our own. Then one day I typed into Google what a real CSI lab looked like and I was stunned. Nowhere close to the technology that is represented in the show and to be honest it just looked like everyone there hated his or her jobs. This totally made me rethink about what I wanted to do for a job when I get older. In NCIS they seem to portray ex members of the armed services in a negative connotation.
Luke Puckett 10 November 2012 The Ever Changing Island In today’s technological savvy world, it has become incredibly effortless for someone to explore their family lineage thanks to websites such as Ancestry.com. This site will take a name and search that name in every single document imaginable with that name in it. This ultimately leads to finding other family members from years past through documents such as the United States Census. However, even these sites are not 100% helpful thanks to the mistakes of a few men sitting at a table over 100 years ago. I am referring to that of Ellis Island on the days when thousands of immigrants journeyed on boats to start a new life in a so called “better” country than their own.
I found Hidden Intellectualism to be a very interesting article by Gerald Graff. It was an argument that I hadn’t heard before and completely agreed on. I say this because I know more than one young person who is impressively street smart but does very poor in school. Gerald Graff makes some very interesting points in his story, saying that schools might be at fault for missing the opportunity to tap into such street smarts and channel them into good academic work. One of the major reasons why schools and colleges overlook the intellectual potential of street smarts is the fact that we associate those street smarts with anti-intellectualism.
No review is done prior to the article or edits becoming available to the world. Those that claim Wikipedia is a valid source state that while an academic writer may be prevented from citing Wikipedia directly in an academic essay, it provides a good starting point in researching a topic. Wikipedia fans state that most articles on the web site provide citations at the end of each article that can provide links to sources that have been proven valid. Wikipedia – Not a Trusted Resource The heated debate over the validity of the information housed on Wikipedia will continue. The fact that most academic institutions, including University of Phoenix, reject it as a valid source of information will prevent me from using it as a citation.
Mia Woodward Mr. Shrum English Comp. 7 October 2014 Liking Isn’t Helping In the United States alone, sixty-seven percent of internet users are on the social media website, Facebook ("25 Amazing Facts About Facebook - Search Engine Journal”). Although it began as just a site for personal profiles and personal updates, it grew into something much bigger than that. Facebook profiles were made over anything you could imagine, including charitable programs. These pages did not just support these events going on in America, but also in other countries.
